Live: The viewer can watch the live from his computer/smartphone or tablet.

Our HLS technology

We are using the HLS technology so that the live stream quality adapts according to the devices used. We are encoding and sending three formats to the viewers and according the Internet stream they can watch the live in HD, SD or LD. This technology is working on most of the browsers, but to learn more about the compatible terminals, you can read this article.

The HLS technology is also called HTTP Live streaming and is based on the HTTP protocole. This technology will cut into several sections the stream in order to send each times the best quality according to the Internet stream of the viewer.

For example, you are in a train watching a live stream on your smartphone. You are in the station, the connection is good but when you are in the country side, the stream is not as good. The live stream is automatically going to adapt.

This technology is going to encode your stream in 3 different formats, this can increase slightly the encoding time and the gap between the reality and the live. The gap can be between 15 and 45 seconds.
